Brocade Memory seats a mature woman with a large bolt of uncut brocade fabric across her lap and pooling onto the floor around her, her hands resting on its surface as if reading it rather than holding it. She wears existing clothes in a different fabric. The brocade is future. From the surface of the uncut cloth on her lap, ghost-images of the dresses it will become slowly rise like watermarks, multiple dress silhouettes surfacing from the fabric, the futures it contains visible before the scissors have touched it. This intimate and layered mixed media fine art print is Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag, limited to a worldwide edition of just 20 prints. A beautiful piece of Nigerian painting about anticipation, womanhood, and the life that lives inside cloth before it becomes clothing. Available at Naija Art Store.
